This seems to happen when a mastodon user @ mentions another mastodon user who happens to have the same name as a Lemmy community. Pretty unfortunate

It’s actually when they mention the Lemmy community. Mastodon users seem to get confused which accounts are Lemmy accounts vs which accounts are Mastodon.

The name being the same causes the confusion, but is not the reason for the post coming to Lemmy.
